Amy Walter I hate to see this end. Your erudite yet down to earth explanations of current politics, great interviewing skills and interesting guests will be missed. I also love your input on PBS. Please consider continuing as you can. I know there are a zillion podcasts out there, but yours is...Read full review »

Really enjoy the podcast

Thank you, Amy, for your fair and balanced news reviews. I learned a lot more about civics and politics from you and your many guests.

Better than all the rest. Amy provides insight and clarity that will not be found with other hosts or shows. She’s a superb thinker too. I give my highest endorsement.

Was I right to hear you are ending your podcast? Your rational voice and balanced guest roster has given me great comfort in the wake of Trumps election. There will be a massive void, for me but, I wish you well in your future endeavors. I’m not crying. Ok, maybe I am crying.

Informative, detailed and knowledgeable unbiased assessment of current news. We are admonished for staying in our news bubbles but it is virtually impossible to find unbiased news. This does it for me.

Consistently outstanding information. Helps me understand complex issues of the day.

Ms Walter is my “go-to” for trustworthy and insightful perspectives.

I am a Libertarian, but I enjoy Amy’s calm inquisitive approach, where she questions and then listens to expert answers, versus driving talking points and a narrative (and interrupting guests, which is a horrible, yet normalized, format).

Amy provides lucid commentaries, features sound interviews with informed representatives of diverse sectors of the population. This is a must hear podcast.

I really like Amy’s discussion topics and guests weed through what’s really going on in our 2020 election. Very informative.
hemymax2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/20
When tough things are happening, I listen to Amy first. I’m so appreciative for the mostly balanced rhetoric. I look forward to listening every week.
Dino503 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/20
Enjoy the podcasts. A pet peeve follows. Some of the guest comments sound like my High School students in English language classes. I am striving to teach English to students. When I hear them speak like high school students with “I mean, you know and like” it is understandable. We work hard on...Read full review »

Listened to podcast after seeing Amy on the News Hour - appears to be more balanced than most, I very much appreciate her personal view that she expresses at the end of the podcast

I have followed Amy Walter for years on the PBS NEWS HOUR and was thrilled to learn she has a political podcast! She is intelligent, objective, communicates information effectively and a very trusted source. Thank you for making her more accessible to her audience!!

Keeps her program current, draws on wide variety of sources, goes into the weeds far enough, asks good questions. The late October program on the too loosely reined Big Tech was a great compendium view providing context, criticism, and political movement.
Linkin Steff via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/19
Amy is top tier with political analysis and I find her fair to those she interviews. Easy to listen to and she makes you think about issues. 👍
NW Paws Pappa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/19
Amy is great at allowing listeners to think on their own. Her approach is to provide a broad spectrum of viewpoints and let each listener draw a conclusion. We can actually learn something by following Amy Walter.
GE from AZ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/19
I subscribed to this podcast for a few months because I generally enjoy Amy Walter’s perspective on the Sunday morning shows but I just unsubscribed. What drove me to drop it was Amy doing nothing to push back at guests whose comments were pure nonsense. Pete Sessions was one. When he started...Read full review »

Intellectually Inquisitive, Intellectually Honest, and actual Intellectualism not Phony or Imagined Kind. How Reporting and Journalism used to be Practiced as a Common Normal Industry Standards Of the Edward R. Murrow and Walter Lippmann kind
Kevin from AZ. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/19
If you’re sick of echo chamber news, subscribe to this. She’s great at presenting both sides and giving impartial takes. Would assume she leans a little left, but it’s extremely subtle. Love her style of interviewing. Great production too.
Kevolas via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/19/19
Amy Walter is a fantastic political analyst. She is as even-handed as you can get in this polarized era. She has guests from all sides of the political spectrum, and asks probing and thoughtful questions.

I’m a rare republican in Silicon Valley. Great discussion on electoral college. Always like your fair discussion.

Thinking’s heads are more educational than talking heads.

Amy is insightful, intelligent and interesting. You be glad you listened and subscribe!!
SpreadGoodKarma via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/19
I have followed her work for years. I have never heard her say anything stupid or claim to know something she doesn’t know and can’t support. There are only a few others.
Mutunus Tutunus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/19
I’ve always liked Amy’s calm, thoughtful, evidence-based analysis of politics. This podcast let’s her go deeper, and as a listener, I’m better for it.
EdwardJohn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/19
Always been a big fan of Amy as a tv pundit, but this podcast really reveals her true talent at cultivating alternative perspectives in listeners minds
Bobby Fairview via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/19
After listening to The Takeaway, I feel grounded. In a time of head spinning news cycles, Amy provides clarity and insight through her thought-full and thought provoking interviews on topics that provide background and foundation to the alarm calls of our current events.
